The CPC Central Committee and the State Council held a grand national science and technology award conference in Beijing on the morning of the 10th. With the participation of Xi'an Jinpeng seedling company, the scientific and technological achievement of "molecular breeding technology innovation and new variety breeding of Eggplant and fruit vegetables" jointly completed by Professor Ye Zhibiao of Huazhong Agricultural University and several units won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress award. This award is the only national scientific and technological Progress Award in the field of Horticultural Science in 2019.

This achievement took the lead in creating the most efficient molecular marker assisted breeding technology system for Eggplant and fruit vegetables, and improved the breeding efficiency of Eggplant and fruit vegetables by more than three times. It is the first tomato high-throughput molecular marker genotyping system in the world, which can detect 50 trait loci at one time, which is more than 20 times higher than the original detection technology, more than 3 times higher than the breeding efficiency of Eggplant and fruit vegetables, and shorten the breeding cycle for 3 years; An efficient comprehensive evaluation technology system of tomato and pepper germplasm resources was established, the eggplant and fruit vegetable germplasm resources were systematically identified on a large scale, and a number of excellent core breeding materials were created; Using efficient molecular marker assisted breeding technology and excellent breeding materials, the project has bred 10 tomato and pepper varieties with multiple resistance and excellent quality.

Our company mainly undertakes the breeding of new tomato varieties in the project, and has bred "Jinpeng 8" and "Jinpeng M6" tomato varieties. Among them, "Jinpeng 8" has become one of the domestic tomato varieties with the longest promotion time and the largest planting area due to its strong cold resistance, high hardness, good color and high rate of high-quality fruit. "Jinpeng M6" is the first batch of root knot nematode resistant tomato varieties planted in a large area in China. It is early maturing, high-yield and good flavor. It has been planted in a large area in China for more than 10 years and exported to developed countries and regions such as Israel and the European Union. Our company is the third completion unit of the project achievements, and Li Xiaodong, the general manager of the company, is the seventh completion unit of the project on behalf of our company.

Xi'an Jinpeng seedling Co., Ltd. is a private professional tomato seed industry company integrating "breeding, propagation and promotion" with breeding as the core competitiveness. It is one of the leading enterprises in China's tomato seed industry. As early as 20 years ago, the "Jinpeng No. 1" tomato variety bred by general manager Li Xiaodong, "early maturity, disease resistance, high yield and long shelf life", created a new era of long shelf life of tomatoes in China. It has been the largest variety in tomato planting area in China for more than 10 years, contributing to the continuous brilliance of Xi'an tomatoes in the country!

The company won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress, which is the recognition and praise of the state for the company's application of new technology, innovation of varieties, active promotion and increasing income for the majority of vegetable farmers. Our company will continue to strengthen cooperation with scientific research and teaching institutions, create excellent germplasm materials with the most advanced technology, and select excellent varieties with high scientific and technological content and strong market competitiveness, so as to make greater contributions to the development of national seed industry!
